Dorney
The floods are wider than ever, with the Eton Wick one spreading further east along the field, while the common flood has crept across and joined the Roundmoor Ditch in a couple of places. It would be a wet business accessing the Jubilee River from the cattle-grid lay-by at present, although you'd probably cope with wellies.
There are loads of chiffchaffs on site, both along the ditch and along the Jubilee River; at least two were in reeds in the boardwalk area.
At home this morning, looking out in surprise as the sun struggled through the murk (it didn't last!), Greger and I saw a male blackcap on the garage roof.
